RE

Intent

The aim of Religious Education at The Disraeli School is: to acquire and develop knowledge of different religions (both Abrahamic and Dharmic), with prominence given to Christianity; to celebrate diversity and build empathy and tolerance towards others and finally, to foster awareness and understanding of the way religion shapes people’s lives and behaviours in our school and wider society.

Religious Education at our school will enable our children to learn more about themselves and their place in the world from religion, whilst also learning about religion and worldviews which have influenced the lives of millions of people. 

Implementation

The RE curriculum at The Disraeli School follows the Buckinghamshire Agreed Syllabus, written by the Buckinghamshire SACRE. Religious Education lessons explore the beliefs, values, practices and ways of living from the principal religions and different worldviews.

The units of work are carefully designed to ensure progression of children’s knowledge, skills and vocabulary. Relevant knowledge, skills and vocabulary are retrieved from previous learning before being built upon, through adapative teaching, with new content to ensure deep learning.

Religious Education units of work and lessons focus around an overarching enquiry question. Our children will first explore their own responses to the enquiry questions and consider their own experiences before considering the experiences, behaviours and attitudes of others.

Impact

Religious Education at The Disraeli School will develop our children’s knowledge of both Abrahamic and Dharmic religions as well as the skills of comparison, analysis, critical thinking and reflection as well as developing their skills of empathy. They will develop the tools to understand: how our behaviours and lives affect other people and the world we live in, how our behaviours and attitudes are influenced by our experiences and beliefs and reflect on their experiences of the world and the beliefs, values and attitudes that guide them through to their next stage of education and into wider life.
